GMA7’s most-sought after leading men – Aljur Abrenica, Rocco Nacino, Derrick Monasterio, and Jake Vargas – are together for the first time in a major concert titled Oh, Boy! at the Music Museum 8 p.m. on Sept. 23, Friday.
Winning the Ultimate Hunk title on GMA-7’s reality search program Starstruck in 2006, Aljur Abrenica has proven that he is a well-rounded artist. One of Cosmo’s favorite bachelors, Aljur became more than just a hunk when he showed his acting chops in various GMA-7’s top-rating drama programs such as Coffee Prince, Dapat Ka Bang Mahalin, and top billed in the fantasy-drama series Machete, his first solo lead role. He took over the big screen in 2012 where he played alongside Rhian Ramos in My Kontrabida Girl. His latest film stint is the historical biopic film Hermano Puli and his recently concluded primetime series is Once Again with Philippine Fashion Muse Janine Gutierrez. He first lived out his passion in music back in 2010 when he recorded an album with GMA Records, and this year he is back with an album under MCA Music and a concert next month.
Another heartthrob to capture hearts this September is Starstruck V Second Prince Rocco Nacino, whose acting skill was acclaimed by different award-giving bodies in the 2011 Cinemalaya Film Festival when he starred in the film, Ang Sayaw ng Dawalang Kaliwang Paa. He was chosen by the Philippine Movie Press Club as New Movie Actor of the Year in the 28th PMPC Star Awards for Movies and as “Best Breakthrough Performance by an Actor” by the Entertainment Press Society (Enpress) in the 9th Golden Screen Awards. This critically acclaimed actor and 2010 Top 10 Cosmo Centerfold is also a registered nurse, who currently plays Aquil in the 2016 requel of the epic fantaserye Encantadia.
Also in the spotlight is Derrick Monasterio, son of former actress Tina Monasterio and a talent of GMA Artist Center since 2009. He won the Best Male New TV Personality in the 25th PMPC Star Awards for TV in 2011 and also received the German Moreno Youth Achievement Award in the 60th Famas Awards. Last year, he was hailed as one of the Top 10 Centerfolds of Cosmopolitan magazine and he recently concluded his afternoon prime series Hanggang Makita Kang Muli with love team Bea Binene. His first single “Kailangan Kita” under GMA Records has been widely received and he feels humbled with this achievement. Aside from being a passionate actor, he is also a crooner who is behind the movie theme songs of The Witness, My Kontrabida Girl and Sinner or Saint.
Lastly, tagged as the Prince of Mall Shows, Jake Vargas has been winning the hearts of every crowd he performs for. Best known for playing the role of young Tristan in GMA Network’s remake of the Koreanovela Stairway To Heaven, he is also a favorite in various Kapuso programs such as Reel Love Presents: Tween Hearts, Captain Barbell, and Home Sweet Home. He became a recording artist in 2010 and performed his top hits such as “Ngiti,” “Kahit Umiwas Pa,” “Miss You Like Crazy,” “Basta’t Kasama Kita,” “When I Look Into Your Eyes,” and “Can Be Mine.” He will soon star GMA-7’s new drama series Oh, My Mama where he will be paired with GMA Artist Center’s new talent, Inah de Belen.
The four GMA Artist Center heartthrobs are thrilled to perform, as they promise a night full of fun and good music. Aside from jamming to sweet love songs and getting fueled up with sultry dance moves, expect the show to be full of excitement and surprises.
The concert promises a night of pure entertainment as Asia’s Pop Sweetheart Julie Anne San Jose joins them as their special guest, with Soc Mina as their musical director and Marvin Caldito as stage director.
